Each Tear – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Woohoohoo, whooohooohoo,

Whoohoo, whoohohohohoo

There's something that I want to say

But I feel I don't know how

And so I just can't hold it one more day

So I think I'll let it out

You're on my mind more than I may show

You're in my heart more than you may know

And the last thing that I want

Is for you to fall apart

Your future will get clearer

I want you to remember

With each tear, there's a lesson

(There's a lesson)

Makes you wiser than before (wiser)

Makes you stronger than you know (stronger)

With each tear, brings you closer to your dream

No mistake, no heart break

Can take away what you're meant to be

We can't change the things

That we've done, that's in our past

But fighting won't get us anywhere

So if you want then

Here's my hand

Every night there's one thing I do

I bow my head and I pray for you

(Pray for you)

And the last thing that I want

Is for you to fall apart

Your future will get clearer

I want you to remember

With each tear

There's a lesson

Makes you wiser than before (wiser)

Makes you stronger than you know (stronger)

With each tear

Brings you closer to your dream

No mistake, no heart break

Can take away what you're meant to be

You're much more than the struggle that you go through

(Don't you know, don't you know)

You're not defined by your pain

So let it go

(Let it go, let it go)

You're not a victim

You're more like a winner and

You're not in defeat

You're more like a Queen you're more like a queen)

Each tear there's a lesson (there's a lesson)

Makes you wiser than before (wiser)

Makes you stronger than you know (stronger than you know)

With each tear brings you closer to your dream

No mistake (no mistake) no heart break (no heart break)

Can take away what you're meant to be

Each tear there's a lesson (there's a lesson)

Makes you wiser than before (wiser)

Makes you stronger than you know (stronger than you know)

Each tear brings you closer to your dream

No mistake, no heartbreak can take away what you mean to me

No no we can't be held down

I, I, I can't be held down

You, you, you can't be held down (held down, held down)

We, we, we can't be held down

Oh, it makes you so much stronger

It makes you so much wiser

Each tear, and you're so close to your dream that

No mistake no heart break

Can take away what you mean to me
